StriderHiryu Posted 21 January 2020 Share Posted 21 January 2020 This is one of those players that I find it surprising we are not all over like a rash. Highly technical Spanish midfielder proven in European competition who is young and will have massive resale value. The only counter argument is that we have 3 attacking midfielders in the squad already in Praet, Maddison and Tielemans. But he could easily play as a wide forward IMO given his technique and skill set. Supposedly he was very close to a move to a Milan, but if we really wanted him I am sure we could get him. The fact we haven't been strongly linked (e.g. Percy) says to me we aren't interested though. He's a really good player though! Wouldn't put him on a Xavi / Iniesta / David Silva level, but I can see him being as good as Santi Carzola who I though was a little genius. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he has played centrally more than wide, he does drift out, and seems to be a technically gifted dribbler - a lot of the clips has him on the wing taking on players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well exactly. The way we play under Rodgers our wide men end up quite central in the final phase of our attack anyway. Olmo is also quite clinical, especially for his age. But I suspect that he would want big wages, probably something in the line of what Tielemans is on. I don't think the club necessarily have a problem with that, but only if a player has proved it first. Tielemans proved it on loan last season, and this season I would say players like Soyuncu and Maddison have proved they deserve high salaries too. For a new player coming straight into the club from Croatia... I don't think the club would do it. Things might change if our bad form continues though. Right now it really feels like the squad could do with shot of adrenaline. Tielemans provided that last season so someone of high quality that could do it straight away could have a big impact. That said I still don't see any incomings this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 21 January 2020 Share Posted 21 January 2020 Really odd one. He does seem ideal, but we already have purported ideal, and quite a bit of it (Ignoring Current form) If we didn`t have Perez or Praet, I woulfd say yes, but..... Where's the bl00dy CB I ordered ?

StevieB Posted 21 January 2020 Share Posted 21 January 2020 In the latest article it states that he doesn't want a move to the UK 🙄 However, there is some bad news that comes from the same Sport report. Olmo, apparently, has no desire to join a Premier League side. The report claims that Olmo has ‘ruled out England as an option’. It goes on to suggest the Bundesliga is his preferred choice, as he prefers the style of play in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually go a bundle on making judgements on YouTube clips but, having never heard of him before, he does look something quite special in the making. I fail to see a place for Perez for example ie crap out wide and although seemingly better down the middle playing off Vardy, I'd perm him behind anyone of Maddison, Iheanacho, Barnes or Tielemans in front of him there. The club aren't suddenly going to write this hefty price tag off soon though. My only reticence would be perhaps the quality of the opposition he was playing against as even Mussa looked like Messi in some of his clips!

Its always going to be a combination of both. The majority of foreign players join primarily because of money, its just a hard truth. Doesnt mean they arent going to be motivated by other factors as well, but we already tick those other boxes. We are great for a young player looking to improve, possibility of champions league football, not like we would only be offering the wonga. But when comparing us to Leipzeig, they offer all of those things as well so the money would be the only advantage we have.
